I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be my people. The covenant formula in its fullest expression: I will walk among you, I will be your God, you will be my people. The walking among you is the most intimate expression of divine presence — not merely dwelling nearby but moving through the community's life. 2 Corinthians 6:16 quotes this verse as the basis for the new covenant community's identity: we are the temple of the living God, as God has said, I will live with them and walk among them. The walking-among that Leviticus 26:12 promises is the walking-among that the new covenant fulfills.
